Sure you could leave them to die, old chum... when you imagine the honor of being the 569th guy to summit, it just makes it all so worth it!
When these kind of guys and rock climbers die, I yawn... you wanted it, you got it. |

I guess this is a "tragedy". I'm sad for the victims of this and their families, but they have to know about the risk.
Sad, yes, but tragedy? No. |

Those sherpas are amazing. Some of them can climb up and back down in 12 hours, no oxygen.
